Hey Dudes,

I've been wanting to re-gear the diffs on my 98 4runner for quite some time, but I was holding out for the right opportunity and it finally happened. It was a total shot in the dark but I hit up ECGS with a proposal to shoot my diff re-gears/rebuilds at their facility which would also include installing a front Eaton e-locker. I was stoked to find out Chase Perry, the CEO of the company, agreed to the deal. I considered doing the work myself, but through my research, differential work is sort of an art that you get better with lots of repetition. So, I thought the subject matter would be much better presented by them, since they are the experts that do this day in and day out.

In addition to the diff re-gear/rebuilds, we interviewed Chase Perry and he took us on a tour of his facility in Louisburg, North Carolina. Chase has a great story to tell and his facility is very impressive.

If you're in the market for a re-gear and/or lockers installed and you watch this video, you'll probably want to send ECGS your diffs because there's no way you could watch it and not walk away with a very favorable impression of Chase Perry and the ECGS company he built from the ground up.

Enjoy the Show! The differential rebuild videos will be following soon. Stay tuned!

If I knew you were willing to travel to the east coast I’d have invited you over to shoot a video of us wrenching on rusty shitboxes. It would be great, Timmy the tool man fixes a rotted frame using 5 stolen car batteries as a welder

Yeah, no. That doesn't sound like fun. You can keep the rust. I'll work on my pansy rust-free California rigs.

Super cool! I've heard nothing but good things about ECGS. Only thing I have from them is my clamshell bushing so I can't speak too much on them personally but a coworker of mine is building up a Hilux into an LPG-swapped pre-runner and sings the praises about them. I've always kept them in mind for a regearing - $700ish for a brand spankin new, regeared third member is a pretty good deal in my book

This is awesome! I was just checking out their stuff earlier today actually. Will def be going with them when the time comes.

Yeah. Nothing like busting bolts and retapping threads. When a 1hour job turns into 3 weeks a few hours a night.

He would have loved the engine removal out of the parts mobile. Another good one would have been the complete stripping of the parts mobile.

We could have even used a tree branch instead of an engine lift to give it more of a redneck feel. Would have made a great video. Oh well. Missed an opportunity to meet us too.

That's a very good interview. I know if I don't wanna mess with a differential I would send it to this company to fix. :-)

Good video. Always neat to see the inside of a world class operation.
